Dylan Thompson, a 6-foot-3, 195-pound OF/LHP from Warren Central (IN), is an easy, athletic mover with fluidity in all phases of his game and more to come as he adds strength. The left-handed hitter hits from a balanced front side with hands that create natural stretch, showing a direct path to contact. He peaked at 91 mph exit velocity with a 343’ max distance, hinting at power potential as he fills out. On the mound, he’s a smooth, strike-throwing lefty with a low-velocity fastball at 77–79 mph (T79), a 68–69 mph curveball with developing shape, and a 74 mph changeup that shows some feel. High-upside athlete with projection both ways.

Thompson was one of my favorite hitters from this event, taking up the box with his athletic, 6-foot-3, 185 pound frame. He is able to control his weight from a wide, grounded stance with a short hand path that is geared toward backspinning the baseball. He showed developing gap-to-gap power, with his best ball leaving at 90 mph, a number that should elevate as he adds strength. Thompson turned in an above average run time (7.19) and he also doubles as a projectable, strike-throwing southpaw on the bump.
